Once Upon A Time
£10.00
Once Upon A Time is the debut publication from Bang Up Books, a prison reading campaign. Described by one prison reader as “the book I would hand people to give them the full version of what it was like being inside so I didn’t have to explain”, the work is thoughtful, impactful, and often unexpected. Once Upon A Time spans themes from judgement, to time, to love, and loss across poetry, rap, and even a business plan. We recommend you prepare to have your preconceptions about life in prison challenged.
Carefully curated over a full year, the book is a first of its kind – not only was the writing collected across prisons in England and Wales, the pieces were all selected in prison, the artwork was developed by someone in the Koestler Arts Mentoring Programme, and all 10,000 copies are being fully printed in prison; making it truly a prison story.
The book is not-for-profit and raises money for the Samaritans to continue their vital work supporting mental health across the prison community.
